I think we Dart drivers may be suffering from a version of the battered spouse syndrome. You finally had enough and make your escape and then he comes around with flowers and sweet talk and you fall in love all over again. Yup. I'm going back to Dart. As a lease operator I made the same net... repeat net..as a company driver but I had so much more freedom. Loved my dispatcher loved the long home time I could take after I'd been out on the road and alone for so long my voice stopped working. Not exaggerating. But in the end it was the job that made me happiest. I think this time I'll save up and buy my own truck..bypass evil highway sales.
There not a bad company to work for it's the pay that I don't like, if they do something really good as far as the money goes I would go back a third time, but I don't see them doing anything about it, so I guess I will be staying at my job
I hear you. Frankly I'd rather take a beating than job hunt. I just want to drive my little truck and sing my little songs...
I just can't imagine why anyone would work for so little! I just came off a week vacation and owe the company $0. God I am so glad I left that poverty stricken lifestyle.
The point is that I can take a week off and I don't owe the carrier I lease on to anything. I used to live that same style where if you took a week off you would owe thousands of dollars potentially. It could take weeks to get caught up. There is a better way and it's not going to cost you a ton of money and have you working for pennies on the dollar.
Ahaha those trailers creep me out too. I never want to see people plastered on a trailer staring at me when I'm driving.
